Bose announced the launch of its new Lifestyle Collection on May 5, featuring three products: the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker priced at $299, the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar at $1,099, and the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer at $899. The products are designed to function both collaboratively and individually, delivering high-quality audio throughout various settings.

A demonstration of the Lifestyle Collection showcased remarkable sound quality, with music from the Ultra Speaker described as booming and a clip from “Dune” vibrating the floor via the Ultra Soundbar. The combination of the speaker, soundbar, and subwoofer is engineered to create immersive audio experiences.
The Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker offers a compact design while delivering powerful sound through three drivers—two front-facing and one up-firing. It includes CleanBass technology for improved bass quality and a QuietPort acoustic opening. Users can pair two Ultra Speakers for surround sound, and the device supports direct music streaming from various applications without the need for Bluetooth connectivity. It is compatible with Google Cast, Apple AirPlay, and Spotify Connect, and features a 3.5mm aux port for external devices. The speaker is also noted for being the first non-Amazon device to offer full Alexa+ capabilities.
